I entered another kingdom.

And I saw the thing I feared.

There hanging on the wall.

Picture of joy on the great hall

I saw her majesty,

Sitting in modesty.

Painted with love;

Brushed with much care.

And fined beyond flawless mistakes

I saw him, the king.

Smiling, loving.

Polished fairly

Molded with laughter.

And colored bright,

Full of life.

I saw the angels.

Exchanging yells.

Before I left the hall.

One final glance at the wall.

For still there hanging with pride

The thing I envied most.

I can’t help but laugh.

Then I’ll start to cry.

Whenever I saw

A family photograph.
